Open-mouth gags hold the jaw open and keep it there — spreader, tunnel and deep-throat designs that change access and intensity. They are louder than a ring gag and demand more trust, because the wearer cannot close up or speak clearly.

If you want a gentler start, ball gags and ring gags give the look with more control. Bit gags sit between the two — quiet, pet-play friendly, and easy on the jaw.

Before you buy, read our beginner gag guide and the full gag comparison. Never gag someone who cannot clearly signal a stop.
